Thanks everyone! I appreciate the kind words and the forum community.

I am truly loving the charm that the 16520 possesses between the bezel font as well as the coloring and flat texture of the subdials. The dial also has a wonderful somewhat matte quality in the direct sun. This is a reference that truly sings in the combination of all of the spectacular small details and stands up in its "sum of its parts" presence.

Mixed it up for our daily family walk today : )

Beautiful & congrats! A smaller watch rotation is where I tend to go with too. Very nice T dial BTW, I was tossed as to which one to go with last year until I picked up a freshly serviced late A serial white dial. I love how these 16520’s aren’t too blingy and are simply a timeless classic.

completely agree! I've moving to more of a "quality over quantity" mentality where I incrementally notch up 2-3 watches that complement each other and retain versatility versus plateauing with 5+ watches that aren't as focused or special to me.

A-series are great watches, congrats on your white dial!

I would like to add either a luminova/A-series white dial or inverted 6 white dial next.

Thanks, everyone. For a little more fun I put it on a NATO on a super hot day here.

It worked better than expected on suede and a NATO but the bracelet is just too perfect. So bracelet it is indefinitely.
